Award AbstractYan SunUniversity of Rhode IslandBuilding Trust in Distributed Networks: Theories, Architecture and ApplicationsWhen network participants do not know how to trust each other, network operations suffer. Participants that naively trust will be victimized and their resources misused. Mistrustful participants will ignore opportunities and their resources will be wasted through inefficiencies. Current research on the establishment of trust often focuses on narrow models and specific domains. There is a gap between point solutions and a system-wide trust infrastructure. This research will address the major issues in designing such a trust infrastructure. In particular, what are the threat models for a trust infrastructure? How should those threats be mitigated? What is the meaning of trust, its properties, and measurement? Where and how should trusts in applications and across networks be managed? This project has several major components: a formal methodology for trust quantification and establishment, case studies, architectural design, graduate and undergraduate education, and outreach to the community at large. The goal of this research is to improve network performance without sacrificing network security through the right trust infrastructure.

罗德岛大学：分布式网络中的信任建设：理论、架构和应用当网络参与者不知道如何相互信任时，网络运行就会受到影响。天真信任的参与者将成为受害者，他们的资源将被滥用。缺乏信任的参与者会忽略机会，他们的资源也会因为效率低下而被浪费。目前关于信任建立的研究往往集中在狭窄的模型和特定的领域。在点解决方案和系统范围的信任基础结构之间存在差距。本研究将解决设计这种信任基础架构的主要问题。特别是，信任基础设施的威胁模型是什么？如何减轻这些威胁？信任的含义、属性和度量是什么？应用程序和网络中的信任应该在哪里以及如何管理？该项目有几个主要组成部分：信任量化和建立的正式方法、案例研究、建筑设计、研究生和本科生教育，以及向整个社区的推广。本研究的目标是在不牺牲网络安全的前提下，通过正确的信任基础设施来提高网络性能。
